Skadi for Germans Only?

[german islander]

I am wondering if this site is for people of German extraction only, because I see other people boasting other European background, which I am fine with but does this form accept Caucasians of other backgrounds for instance Italians? Greeks? Or Caucasians of non Arab Middle Eastern background? Or is it only focused on Nordic European whites?

We do specifically stress that the "Questions about Germanics" is not to be used for "profiling questions" and could thus leave your question standing, however I have decided to reply to your enquiry since your question appears to be of genuine curiosity, and for future reference.

No, we are not restricted to people of German extraction, but we do essentially restrict membership to those fully or predominantly Germanics in ancestry; id est typically those of German (Austrian, Swiss, etc.), Danish, Swedish, Norwegian, Icelandic, Faroese, English, Scottish, Dutch/Flemish, etc. descent.

Non-Arab Middle-Eastern heritage is disallowed and has always been, non-Germanic European heritage is also generally disallowed, but might be tolerated on equitable grounds if of minor importance. You may see one or the other non-Germanic European around, but these are rare remnants from a time when membership was not restricted to Germanics, we permitted the most pro-Germanic of those old registrations to continue their posting venture here until further notice. This is moot point for any new registration though.

This rule of "for Germanics only" may seem a little "extreme" and close-minded to some, but like many other folks around the globe we prefer to be amongst our own kind, where we know what to expect and around whom we feel it is a safe environment to discuss all matters of pertinence (and sometimes impertinence). Furthermore, we do believe that things important to Germanics should primarily be discussed amongst Germanics, you simply wouldn't have much business on let's say an Arab preservation forum if you're not an Arab yourself.

If you wish to register but are not sure if you fulfil the membership, you can use the Contact Us forum, a link to which you can find at the bottom of the index page. The Administration, and if necessary other active Staff, will then convene to judge upon the particular case and you should hear back from the Administration within a few days.

Hope this answers your question.

Yes those English Skadi members are so damn German.

Germanic =/= German.

It all depends on how important in your ancestry your Italian background is, and how much identification you may feel with that part of your ancestry. Depending upon that, it may be judged on a case-to-case basis, which can run on several pointers, including posting record as one goes along.

@De Groda: Location makes no difference to membership. Assuming Member X is a Germanic, he/she could be in Burkina Faso for all I cared, provided he/she is of Germanic extraction.

I remember when non-Europids were allowed to register but were banned if the didn't contribute to highbrow discussions about Germanic issues. There was a Persian guy in Los Angeles, CNOOC the Chinese guy, some Indian Hindu, a couple of Jews, California Love for example. The Germanic-only rule came about when Skadi came back online in September 2008. The non-Germanics have since been weeded out.

No, Sigurd was referring to the fact that non-Muslim Middle Easterners are not allowed, like Armenians or Georgians.
